Sometimes grant projects require a modification to the budget. This also includes requests to revise project budgets in model state plans through the Professional Development Program.
To request a budget revision, provide a brief letter or email with the following content:
- Justify and explain the circumstances that led to the need to change or revise your project budget;
- Will it impact the project scopes or objectives? If the revision changes the scope of the project, include a change of scope/objectives request;
- Justification of the change in type of personnel or a significant change in wages;
- Complete the Revised Budget Form;
- Include your SARE subaward account number or project number;
- cc Tydaisha White on all change requests.
Once the request has been received and approved, processing begins at the SSARE office and then forwarded to the UGA Sponsored Projects unit in Athens. An approval notification email emailed by either the SSARE accountant or UGA Sponsored Projects to the PI’s institution/organization/agency administrative contact on file. No formal modification will be issued.
It may take up to 8 weeks for revisions in budget requests to be processed once approved.
